# Slack app

The Stratix Slack app — notifications and quick actions in your workspace.

The Stratix Slack app routes notifications into a channel and supports a handful of quick actions from Slack itself.

## Install

From the Stratix Premium **Settings → Integrations → Slack**, click **Install**. You'll be redirected to Slack to authorize the app for your workspace and pick a channel.

## What it does

* **Routes notifications** — evaluation completions, threshold crossings, GEPA optimization completions, ECU low-balance warnings
* **Quick actions** from notification messages:
* Open the run in the Premium UI
* Acknowledge an alert
* Re-run a recurring trace evaluation
* **Search** — `/layerlens search...` from any channel

## Channel routing

Most orgs use one Slack channel for notifications. Per-event routing (e.g., billing notifications to a `#finance` channel; eval failures to `#oncall`) is configurable in **Settings → Notifications**.

## Permissions

The Slack app requests:

* **chat:write** — to post notification messages
* **commands** — to support the `/layerlens` slash command
* **users:read** — to map Slack users to Stratix users when applicable
